By the mid 1970s, a "coal coalition" of coal producers, oil and gas, metals, electric utilities, railroads, and commercial banks emerged producing coordinated efforts against threats to their profits from environmental regulation. This talk will examine subsequent changes in the political economy of the coal industry and its position within the larger corporate power structure and think tanks of US policy formation network. Mapping coal within this network yields a better understanding of the problems of environmental regulation today.
